The parents of Harry Studley have accused the friend who shot their son in the head – leaving him with devastating injuries - of showing no remorse.

Edward Studley and Amy Allen say they have not spoken to college pal and neighbour Jordan Walters since he shot their two-year-old son in the head with an airgun.

Speaking to Bristol Post sister paper the Sunday Mirror , the couple revealed their fury and fears for Harry, left with the pellet in his brain, as Walters, 24, awaits sentence after admitting grievous bodily harm.

His partner, Emma Horseman was last week cleared of encouraging him to fire the weapon at the youngster during an incident at their flat at Bishport Avenue, Hartcliffe, last July.

Mum Amy, 21, said: "The last time I spoke to either of them was on the day Jordan shot Harry – and neither me or Ed will ever speak to them again.

"Jordan could have killed my little boy but he has no remorse for what he has done."

Edward, 22, said: "Our friend betrayed us.

"We don't know if we can trust anybody any more."

Walters fired the gun as Amy, Harry and his brother Riley visited the flat. The pellet lodged in Harry's brain, temporarily paralysed him and left him unable to speak.

It cannot be removed and could blind or even kill him if it shifts as he grows. He has been left battling epilepsy and suffers multiple seizures every day.

Amy said: "The first time he had a seizure I thought I'd lost him again.

"His eyes were open, but his face was just blank.

"We tried calling his name but he just lay there, completely still.

"Tomorrow he could just wake up and be completely blind. It's just a guessing game which way things will go.

"We had thoughts of him and Riley growing up and being what they wanted to be.

"But it's hard to stay what path Harry will take."

Former Sainsbury's manager Edward, who is now a full time carer for Harry, said: "He's forgotten us a couple of times, which is very hard to deal with.

"I was holding him a few weeks ago and he said 'Mummy, where's Daddy?'

"He didn't recognise I was there."

Clothes shop worker Amy and Edward met while studying.

Amy met Emma Horseman when they were both on the same childcare course.

In 2015 both couples moved into the same block of flats in Hartcliffe. After the incident in July, Walters called 999 and said he had accidentally shot Harry, thinking the gun was empty.

Harry was put into a coma before rehabilitation on a hospital ward.

Medics began therapy to help the paralysed left side of his body move again. Eventually he regained his speech.

The maximum sentence Jordan could receive is five years for causing grievous bodily harm. He has been on remand since July 4.

Emma Horseman was cleared of GBH by aiding and abetting at Bristol Crown Court last week.

Walters is due to be sentenced at a later date.

Edward said: "We want them to lock him up and throw away the key. We will never forgive him."
